The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the more active teams in the league surrounding the trade deadline, hoping to unload someone from their crowded big man rotation while adding more shooting.
The Cavs have appeared to do just that, acquiring stretch four Channing Frye from the Orlando Magic while sending center Anderson Varejao to the Portland Trail Blazers in the three-team trade, according to USA Today's Sam Amick.
Channing Frye will be sent to the Cavs from Orlando, I'm told. Anderson Varejao will wind up in Portland. More to come.

Orlando also receives a second-round pick from the Cavs in the deal, along with a player to be named later that will come from the Blazers.
Frye is averaging 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 39.7 percent from three-point range this season. Varejao is averaging 2.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in just 10 minutes per game.
